The School of Légèreté is accepting applications from experienced riding teachers who would like to be considered for a new UK course.

In order to make the change to the riding philosophy of Légèreté as easy as possible and to prepare yourself for the final exam in the best possible way, Philippe Karl strongly recommends you get in touch with licenced teachers or trainee teachers of the School of Légèreté well before the beginning of the three-year training.
